Chapter 222 - Day 3 of a Three Day Rest (1/2) (1/2)

On the morning of the last day of my three-day break, I readied myself and then I waited by the entrance of the abandoned mine.

“It’s here!” [Ryouma]

A carriage pa.s.sing through the Gimuru road was headed in my direction.

It was driven by the maid, Lilian-san. Beside her was Yurdum-san, so it’s definitely the carriage I’m waiting for.

I waved at them to get their attention, then I led them to an acceptable parking area. After that the three working girls, Maria, Fina, and Jane-san, alighted from the carriage.

“Good morning.”

We exchanged greetings, and then the three girls from the farming village spoke.

“This carriage is really good!” [Jane]

“It’s really comfortable~” [Maria]

“Back in our village, we’d either walk or use a carriage that swayed a lot.” [Fina]

“So it really is a good carriage.” [Ryouma]

This carriage is one of the three carriages that parked at the empty lot of the store last night. It’s one of the carriages used by the members of the duke’s family. That’s why I thought for sure it would be an excellent performer.

“It’s good, alright.” [Yurdum]

“I thought it might be.” [Ryouma]

“It’s an old carriage scheduled for disposable, so please feel free to tell us if you need it.” [Lilian]

“Thank you very much.” [Ryouma]

They’ve already lent me a carriage, so if you include this, that makes two. Reinhart-san had them pa.s.s a message, saying, “It’s going to be busy from here on out, so please feel free to use these carriages to help you get around.” That’s why they’re lending them to me like this.

Of course, it’s not only the members of the duke’s family and the carriages that I’m grateful for.

Although the married couple had to leave that night after picking up their children, until then, the employees were the ones taking care of their children.

Hence, in our absence, it was the employees who accompanied the guild master and the members of the duke’s family. They probably became curious as to why everyone was at my store, and in the course of asking questions and getting an explanation, they ended up asking me if there was something they could help with.

I was more than willing to accept their help since they were offering it, so today, the three girls from the farming village will be teaching me the basics of farming.

“Thank you for coming here despite your day off. I’ll be in your care today.” [Ryouma]

“Ha ha ha! What are you being so stiff for, Boss?” [Jane]

“You’re always taking care of us~ It’s the least we could do~” [Maria]

“If anything we’re just happy to be able to help you, Boss. But why do you want to farm so suddenly?” [Fina]

“Ah, right. I haven’t explained that part, have I? Actually—” [Ryouma]

I didn’t tell them the parts about the G.o.d of Farming, but I did tell them that I’ve been basically brute forcing my wood magic, so if I could learn how to farm properly, I should be able to produce better results.

“So that’s actually a thing~” [Maria]

“We don’t know anything about magic, though. Will this really be alright?” [Fina]

“Don’t worry, Fina-chan. It’s more important to know about the subject of a spell.” [Yurdum]
